Our family of four, two adults and two teenagers, found this a perfect base for our 8-day trip to London in the week leading up to Easter. Vito greeted us as we arrived and showed us around the 3rd floor flat. It appeared exactly as it had in photos, with all promised conveniences. Vito had stocked the fridge and cupboard with a few thoughtfully chosen items like tea, milk, jam, and cookies, and the lovely lemon tart mentioned in prior reviews. We provisioned ourselves from nearby small grocery stores (Little Waitrose and Sainsbury's Local) for breakfasts and some dinners in, and my husband loved the access to a Starbucks. We found the beds comfortable and the flat was a quiet place to retreat to after busy touring days in the city. We never would have slept so well in a hotel. The two single beds in one bedroom were perfect for our teens who no longer find it fun sharing a bed. The hot water was plentiful, and there were adequate outlets for our many devices, including a nice charging tower with two adapters. There is even a small safe - remember to ask for the combination because these are not self-programming like many in US hotels.

It was so convenient being a few minutes walk from Vauxhall Station where there is access to both the underground and the train station; we bought 7-day travel cards and loaded them on Oyster Cards for easy transit. We took day trips to the Making of Harry Potter in Leavesden and to York to see the Minster, streets, and walls and a bit of the countryside from the train. We otherwise stayed in central London seeing the sights. The location near the south bank made for easy access to the embankment walk, many attractions along the Thames, and to bridges into London proper.

If you are a foodie, do not miss Borough Market! French duck confit sandwiches and cream-filled doughnuts! We were not able to try Italo, the little Italian deli, as it was closed on the two or three occasions we stopped by. We liked Nando's so much on our first jet-lagged night that we ate there again on our last night -- a good informal option for families.

We would stay here again in a heartbeat and will recommend to anyone looking to stay in London.
